The crime happened on December 19; the victim was 37-year-old Leonard Harris (pictured below).

Phoenix police Sgt. Paul Penzone of Silent Witness tells New Times that Harris and the unidentified assailant were seen arguing inside the club prior to the shooting. The dispute continued outside in the parking lot, where Harris was shot.
